inventory turover
assets turover
investments
cash
fixed assets turnover
receivables
goodwill & intangibles
short-term debt
prefered stock
sales
gross margin
of course i have numbers but it will be long to do them …just help how to know each industry from other
like as i know…grocery always have higher inventory turnover than warehouse club…..both need high sales
the problem is that i dont have good knowledge in business!! mu bad luck!!

Geez. Looks like you might have to actually read the book then ask the teacher.
Inventory turnover and asset turnover are percentages so you can compare them.
Investments can be analyzed by type to compare them.
Cash, Receivables, short term debt , Goodwill and preferred stock can be compared to owners equity to get a percentage.
Sales against stock price.
Gross Margin as a percentage of sales.
